We serve all of Navajo County, including our citizens living on the Navajo Nation,
the Hopi reservation and the White Mountain Apache reservation. While most crimes
on tribal lands fall under federal or tribal jurisdiction, several cases each year
(especially those involving the transportation of drugs) are prosecuted by the Navajo
County Attorney’s Office.

The Navajo County Attorney’s Office also assists with negotiating intergovernmental
agreements between the county, state, cities and towns, tribal authorities and federal
agencies such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs. These agreements foster close working
partnerships among the participants and often benefit tribal lands by providing
for the creation and maintenance of roads, ensuring a coordinated approach to critical
activities such as homeland security and public health, and enhancing law enforcement
and emergency preparedness.

We are proud of our part in fostering closer relationships with the tribal governments
and providing comprehensive services to all the citizens of Navajo County.
